Why did apple stop makeing ios for iphone 3g?

i've been wondering why you all have stoped making ios for iphone 3's inpurticular because i can't get any up dateed stuff on my iphone?

Because the hardware can't support it. The iPhone 3G is very old, it had to be dropped at some point. All later models are still supported as of now.

  • Why did Apple choose new size for iPhone 5?

    I am a bit worried that the new physical size of the iPhone 5 will make a great number of existing accessories useless. A own a Tomtom GPS car holder as well as an advanced iPhone holder for my bike, and they are not exactly cheap to buy? How come Apple decided to change the standard size?

    The 3 and 3gs, the 4 and 4s...now the 5 and possibly the 5s next year. the accessories worked with each different number of phone released. At any rate, at least they are selling an adapter for the 5 for charging, etc.

  • Why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?

    I saw this very interesting Bluetooth speaker from Carbon Audio called Zooka in Apple store few weeks back, but I was still trying to make up my mind about it, but to my surprise this model siezed to exit on the online store, and all searches aggersively point me to other models when I insist on searching for it by name.
    Question: why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?  Is there something wrong with it, or is it one of thse commercial disputes that I dont need to know about, and I'm good to look for it elsewhere.

    I just got this reply back fron Carbon Audio's help Desk if anyone's interested:
    Apple had an issue with our labeling, forcing us to recall all of our product to relabel it. That process is complete and Apple will be restocking their shelves very shortly."

    Why did you think Ford stopped the popular Model T ?

  • Why did apple stop supporting disc installed video games in their macs

    I was wondering why did apple support disc installed games like spore on older macs but they wont install on the newer macs. This is really bothering me because i like disc installed videos games they are safer and you have to purchase them in order to play them unless you have a crack. Now apple is saying that discs are obsolete when really they aren't.

    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.None of us users take part in any of Apple's decisions and/or why they do the things that do.  Your best bet would be to post your concerns over on the Product Feedback website.

  • Why does apple stop making iphone 5?

    Why apple discontinued iphone 5 ?
    Will apple start making it again?

    Why apple discontinued iphone 5 ?
    Because they brought out the iPhone 5S and 5C.

    Nobody here would know, but it seems extremely unlikely.

  • Did Apple STOP MAKING iSight Cameras??? They're on eBay for $250+ !!!

    Does anyone know what's up? I've given up on calling Apple. No retailer on the web has them either! I know this isn't a tech question but I am trying to get an iChat system going with someone who has a built in cam...

    I know I can hook up any mini DV cam. I actually hooked one up to test
    iChat but I plan to go on the road with a laptop. I called apple again and
    got a vague answer about the hazardous materials.
    The guy I spoke to said he had no information at all and no news about
    a wireless replacement or any alternative by a third party. He asked me
    if I knew about wikipedia, then said I should read what it says about
    the iSight.
    I don't care about mercury I just want an iSight because they produce
    a better image than any other cam to date. Anyone have a suggestion
    for a third party cam?

  • Did Apple stop signing IOS 7.1?

    I keep receiving error 3194 everytime I try to upgrade my iPhone 4, as well as iPhone 4S, to IOS 7.1.
    I've been searching for solution for 2 weeks so far, but no luck. When I try to fix error 3194 ( by using TinyUmbrella), another error appear (error 1003).
    - The host file is clean, no gs.apple.com entry.
    - Firewall is off.
    - I also try to upgrade the IOS on another PC, but the problem is the same.
    - If I try to upgrade on MAC OS X, the error is "This device isn't elegible for the requested build."
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

  • Why did apple stop supporting iPod touch 4, Why did apple stop supporting iPod touch 4

    I was really excited for iOS 7 to come out and then I couldn't get I on my iPod touch 4. The iOS 6.1.5 came out for it I thought the might make it for the 4. Does anybody know if they might recontinue it?

    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why did Adobe stop making Acrobat English, francais, Deutch?

    In Acrobat X we could switch between English, French and Deutch. Now in Acrobat XI the only UI language available is the one allowed by the serial number! We do have an English and french serial number but now it seems complex to distribute a MUI in an enterprise using SCCM or GPO.
    There is a workarround following this but again distributing a MUI version seems complex.

    Thanks. When Adobe prompts another download, I'll understand I should turn off Mozilla. It would have helped if Adobe used the English language. I'll have to remind Chuck Geske, its retired founder and CEO but still on its board, the next time I see him.

  • Lanyard headphones: why did apple discontinue them for ipod nano?

    i'd love to purchase the new generation of ipod nano (i need more HD space on my 2nd gen ipod nano), but i have a basic need for the lanyard style headphones. i can't bring myself to wear the old style headphones (i have many bad memories of dropping the lanyard-less ipods).
    i have never had a problem with the lanyard design in the 4+ years that i've used them. why did apple stop production?
    and, more importantly, does apple have any plans to bring back lanyard headphones in the future?
    thank you.

    Since we are all end users like you, nobody here would have the answers to such questions.  Only apple knows.  Either way, I suggest you leave feedback to Apple through one of their feedback channels.
